Analog Devices ADALM1000, Active Learning Module Education Demonstration Kit

The ADALM1000 module is an easy to use active learning tool that illustrates the relationships between current, voltage, impedance (resistance, inductance, and capacitance), introducing the fundamentals of electrical engineering. The ADALM1000 augments learning with a personal portable lab when used with a laptop or tablet computer. Pixelpulse application software provides an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) for visualizing and manipulating analogue signals.

Optional ADALP2000 Analogue Parts Kit.

Current Sensing Amplifiers have a voltage output that is proportional to the volt drop across a very low value resistor, usually in a high-current power rail. Hence they measure the current flowing in that power rail.
